Buy a townhouse in this development near where I live called Sea Colony:Details: $860k for a comfortable townhouse.Pros:Comfortable place to live for the next few years, and I’d still have liquidity to invest elsewhere.It is still in my current community where all of my friends live, so I would still be where I want to be location-wise.Will get appreciation.Cons:High HOA fees ($660/month) and potential 10k special assessment in the next few years.Likely won’t cash flow after we move, so unsure whether it would make sense to hold.3.
